    Amdega went into Administration today.

    Administrators say there is NO PROSPECT of selling the business and 200 staff have been made redundant.

  • We ordered an Amdega conservatory in 2008. 1 year later it was still unfinished and to date I have spent thousands with my solicitor and a barrister and today they have gone bust. I'm furious!

    Who else is out there who looks more than likely to have lost their deposit??
    £3 million in orders - from the local paper- how many is that of us?.

    To everyone else -not really a "techie" - so what other forms of communication are there to get in touch with the other wronged people- those who have lost their hard earned deposits.

    I must say how sorry I am to the Amdega employees who have lost their jobs.

    I'm glad I read everybodies comments before we have moved forward with the Amdega conservatory we have been considering. So thank you.
    Can anybody suggest a solid wood consveratory manufacturor that you can recommned?
    Thanks.



    Yes! Midland Conservatories (if you haven't already gone ahead with your project) - Our family run business manufacture bespoke timber conservatories which are of much higher quality than Amdega. Its a real shame they have gone into administration - the name certainly won't be forgotten, i feel for all of the employees that are now out of work... :(

    Considering this is a 4 year old post, I am sure that the OP has sorted out their requirements. And stop spamming.

    The post that i was referring to was posted in May 2010 and considering that people can take a long time to decide to go ahead on a big project there is every chance that they have not gone forward with that project yet.

    Your 'spamming' comment was not necessary, i was reading about Amdega online as its of interest to me, and i came accross this forum post - its the first forum that i have every posted on. A heck of a lot of people have been affected by the recent events concerning Amdega and i was merely answering this members post as they asked.

    If this is how people speak to each other on forums then i may not want to return!

    That is spamming / promotion
